How to Cook a Fried Egg in an Air Fryer

Intro: How to Cook a Fried Egg in an Air Fryer

In this Instructable, I will show you how to make a fried egg in an air fryer. With that said, I by no means think this is the best way to make a fried egg, but I love using my air fryer so let's do this!

Don't forget to follow me and check out my other Instructables.

Follow the easy steps below or watch the short video tutorial, or do both!

STEP 1: Prep the Pan

Begin by spraying your cake pan or whatever pan you are using that fits in your air fryer, with cooking spray. Or you can just pour a little cooking oil like olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, etc. And then baste it on the bottom.

This will help keep the egg/s from sticking.

Something like a ramekin will work too.

STEP 2: Cook That Egg

Now crack the egg and place it into the pan. Place the pan in the air fryer basket and then into the air fryer itself.

Set the temp to around 360 to 375F. Then cook for 3 to 5 minutes. In mine 3:45 is usually good.

Check it at 3 minutes. If you notice I am pointing at the yolk, it is not quite done around the edges of the yolk. Just cook it for another 30 to 45 seconds. Although you could certainly still eat it like this.

I like to wait until there is a little bit of white creeping up the yolk.

The fried egg is done, now use a spatula to get the egg out, it should come right out if you used a bit of oil.

STEP 3: Serve That Fried Egg

Place the egg on a plate and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper as desired.

Enjoy!
